Chapter 380: Counting is Counting

The Morning Star was berthed into the berth designated by the customs, and Tang Fang, as a precaution, left 20 machine gunners, 10 fanatics, and 3 ghosts in the ship, and left the ship with Zhou Ai, Tang Lin, and Bai Hao, and entered the pick-up hall of the dock through the connecting passage.

As soon as a few people went out, they didn't come to their senses, and with the flashes of light, dozens of reporters rushed up.

"Mr. Tang, I heard that you encountered many pirates on this voyage? Is this news true? ”

"Mr. Tang, please talk about your views on the 'Lokia' Navy's escort operation?"

"Mr. Tang, if you have time, can you tell us what happened?"

"Mr. Tang, it is said that in this operation, the navy captured a large number of pirates in one fell swoop, and there are some leaders of the pirate group, can you reveal who they are?"

"Mr. Tang, Mr. Tang......"

In the blink of an eye, the reporters surrounded the pick-up gates, flashing lights, questions, and hot faces.

Tang Fang felt a little irritated, and these reporters were like an overwhelming mass of locusts, completely engulfing him. This should be put in normal times, when people suffer from a catastrophe and encounter a catastrophe, the situation has not calmed down, these reporters do not say that they care about the physical and mental conditions of the parties, but they are directly asking a tidal wave, are they annoying?

Thanks to the fact that the Morning Star squinted during the flight before, otherwise, I was afraid that I would have been unable to control my inner irritability, and I would have rolled up my sleeves and started beating people.

The impatience on Tang Lin's face became stronger and stronger, Zhou Ai's eyes also revealed a little coldness, Bai Hao pressed the dagger on his waist, hesitating whether to scare and scare these blind guys.

Originally, the boss was dissatisfied with the Navy's Morning Star Strongman, and now he has provoked such a group of mung bean flies, these guys are even more nerve-wracking than those pirates. In the treatment of the latter, the Morning Star was bombarded with all the dry lying down. But what can you do with these people in front of you? They're media workers, and they're good at taking things out of context and smearing blacks or something. Even though you are upset, you still have to smile at the camera.

Bai Hao followed with some regret. If only I had known that this errand would have been given to Churchill, didn't that guy want to be an actor? Ready-made opportunities to show your face.

"Please let go, let go, Mr. Tang, what they need now is rest." Just when Tang Fang was tugging at the corners of his mouth and his heart was churning, the customs staff finally came out to relieve the siege.

A plump female customs officer, aged 35 or 6, separated the crowd with four uniformed security guards and stopped the reporters on either side. Split a passage.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there will be a press conference on the Navy side in six hours, and if you have any questions, please ask questions at the venue." Explaining to the reporters with a smile, the woman turned her head to look at Tang Fang: "Mr. Tang, please come with me." ”

In this way, several people entered the customs office area under her leadership, and came to a lounge, and the woman introduced the four people into the room and said, "Please rest for a while." He then instructed the receptionist to serve tea, and then took his leave.

About 10 minutes passed. The door opened from the outside, Tang Fang looked up, and was stunned. Johnny led Maryteth into the room. directly gave him a bear hug, and said with a smile: "Brother Tang, let's meet again." ”

"Hey, Johnny, why are you here?" Tang Fang looked at the customs clerk behind Johnny, and frowned unconsciously, Johnny is a businessman, how can he be so well-informed, and he has just arrived. He rushed to the back foot when he heard the news, and it was only 10 minutes left and right. That's a little faster, isn't it?

"Hehe, Mr. Tang doesn't know yet. If it weren't for Mr. Johnny's help, I'm afraid that you and your warship would have been swept away by those pirates. The plump woman said with a smile.

"Oh?" As soon as he heard this, Tang Fang suddenly realized and said secretly: "No wonder." Who is Johnny? Businessman! The "Rover Technology Complex" is a large military-industrial enterprise, and since the above, it dares to send him to the "Jakarta Pur" star system next to the Lost Lands, which in itself shows one thing, this guy is very shrewd.

With a large amount of confidential information in his hands, his value is immeasurable, how could a businessman like him watch them fall into the hands of a group of robbers? Even if Johnny has a tentative mind and wants to use the pirate force to test his ability, he must make preparations with both hands, presumably the "Jakarta Pur" Navy's bandit suppression operation is not so simple, and there should be the shadow of the "Rover Technology Consortium" in it.

Although Johnny's mind is not very simple in this matter, and everything he does is to bring the two sides closer, but in any case, in order to make friends with himself, the "Rover" does not hesitate to use the relationship with the navy, and has invested so much blood, which is enough to show their sincerity.

Even if he didn't need the help of the Navy at all, he didn't need Johnny's surprise for himself, but he received this heart. In some aspects, Tang Fang's temperament is very upright, how people treat me, how I treat people, no matter what the starting point of the "wanderer" is to do this qiē, first of all, they have given themselves enough face, and they do not show the arrogance of the local snake and the big chaebol, and similarly, in the previous transaction, Johnny did not harm himself because he was an outsider.

Seriously, what happened on the docks was unavoidable. Even if Johnny stopped Hilgai in time, what could he do? Anyone who cares will know it with a guess, not to mention that God knows if there are pirates' eyeliner on the bank's side?

Johnny first reminded himself to leave as soon as possible, but seeing that he did not listen, he insisted on staying in "Lokia" for a day. On the premise of not knowing the combat effectiveness of the Morningstar, in order to prevent accidents, the relationship between the navy and the navy was used. As a friend, it is enough to be righteous.

"Cut, if you do this more, who will scarce your escort." Bai Hao muttered in a low voice: "A group of cheating daddy goods, the more you help, the more you help!" ”

"Bai Hao!" Tang Lin tugged at his sleeve next to him: "No matter what, people are kind." ”

"Kind? Good intentions do bad things! Bai Hao glanced at the plump: "Look at her squealness, like our life-saving benefactor." ”

Tang Lin was just about to persuade again, but Zhou Ai smiled coldly and said loudly: "Bai Hao, say, keep talking, be louder!" Don't mumble like a. ”

One sentence immediately attracted everyone's attention, and Tang Fang frowned. looked at Bai Hao: "What's the matter?" ”

"No, no...... It's okay, huh...... Hehe...... "The kid laughed dryly. He cast a somewhat frightened glance at Zhou Ai.

"Guys, let's talk. I've got some things to do, goodbye. With that, nodding to Johnny, the busty turned and walked out of the room.

The two sides sat down, and Tang Fang smiled playfully: "I said, how can the dignified 'Jakarta Pur' Navy not hesitate to dispatch 400 warships for the sake of a little-known foreign businessman. So that's what happened! ”

Johnny snorted: "Don't hide it, brother, let's do it...... Actually, it didn't take much effort, I already knew that the navy was brewing a crackdown on banditry......"

After listening to Johnny's explanation, Tang Fang understood the various reasons.

First. Christmas is approaching, and it is inevitable that the large and small departments of "Lokia" will have to pay some year-end bonuses and benefits, and the same is true for the navy. However, a star system like "Jakarta Pur" is located "inland" of the Covenant, where there is little fighting and is relatively safe, and the Covenant Council spends money on the edge in order to save military spending, compared to the army on the "Sokanada" defense line. Financial inputs to local garrisons have been drastically reduced. Therefore, an organization like the "Jakarta Pur" Navy wants to do some holiday benefits for officers. Then it's up to you to think about it. Obviously, if you want to make some money in your area of duty, the pirates are a very suitable target.

Recently, robbery in the surrounding area of "Jakarta Pur" has shown an explosive trend, and it is very necessary to carry out a vigorous sweep to create a little public opinion topic, so that the soldiers can be active and gain some military merits and political achievements by the way. It's also good to show off a sense of storage during the year-end meeting.

Third, Johnny's request. The "Rover Technology Consortium" is a well-known enterprise in Star Alliance and has a number of business cooperation with the government. The network is all over the top of the Star Alliance. As the head of the "Rover Technology Consortium" in the "Lokia" office, Johnny has personally come to the door, and the navy always has to sell some face. If the big customer of the "Rover Technology Complex" in his mouth is robbed near "Jakarta Pur" or even killed by a pirate group, it is very likely to affect the career of some people.

Therefore, based on the above three points, the "Jakarta Pur" Navy Staff planned a hunting operation overnight, using the Morning Star as bait to carry out a surprise attack on the small and medium-sized pirate groups near the "Jakarta Pur".

In the eyes of the "Jakarta Pur" Navy, Tang Fang and his Lightning Python-class destroyers were just at the right time.

Tang Fang shook his head, and couldn't help but show a helpless smile: "Is this considered collusion between officials and business......

Sure enough, no matter what state system or social form, collusion between officials and businessmen is always inevitable. In vain, he thought that the Star Alliance was an NPC system, but now that he thinks about it, his opinion is still too simple.

Businessmen who do business are shrewd, but politicians who play power games are not? I'm afraid they are better than the former. Otherwise, how could the Covenant survive the cracks between the landlocked nations and the expeditionary forces of the Jupiter Empire?

"Brother Tang, there is no need to say it so explicitly." Johnny laughed dryly: "Everyone just takes what they need and cooperates for a win-win situation." ”

Tang Fang smiled: "Anyway, thank you this time." ”

Mariteth pouted: "Our manager took so much effort to ask for help from the Navy, so you just said 'thank you'?" It's too cold. ”

The girl's angry words made Tang Fang happy, touched her nose and said, "Then you want to say, what should I do to be enthusiastic?" ”

"You can sell us all that valuable information." Mariteth said assumedly.

"Poof." Before Tang Fang could speak, Bai Hao just squirted out a mouthful of tea water in his mouth: "Is there any mistake, we haven't accused you of being nosy......"

"Bai Hao, shut up." Tang Fang scolded, and looked at Maryteth with a smile, the little girl is so scheming, how can a businessman talk like this.

"Johnny, she's your relative, right?"

"Yes, she's my sister's daughter." Johnny looked embarrassed and glared at Maritess. Can this kind of thing be said in the open? It will be embarrassing for both parties, and it will affect the relationship.

"No wonder ......" Tang Fang didn't have so many concerns, Maritis's straightforwardness made him feel a sense of intimacy, and the little girl was somewhat similar to Tang Yun's temperament.

"Makes you laugh." Johnny sighed with hatred on his face, and changed his words: "Brother Tang, what did this little brother mean by what he said just now?" ”

"Nothing interesting, huh. Perhaps he was upset that the Navy had caused the Morningstar not to take out the Ogre flagship. ”

"Huh?" Johnny was stunned for a moment, then thought about it for a while before he reacted. Suddenly, his face changed drastically: "'Ogre'? Strange's 'Ogre' Pirates? You mean......"

He swallowed his saliva and slowly swept over Tang Fang, who looked calm on the sofa opposite: "You mean...... You took out the 'Ogre' pirates? ”

"Pretty much." Tang Fang shrugged his shoulders very casually.

That is to say. You took out an entire group of pirates with one destroyer? Johnny was completely stunned.

"How is that possible?" Mariteth blinked a pair of big eyes: "I don't believe that with just one destroyer, you can defeat a pirate group with a cruiser?" You must be bragging. ”

Tang Fang smiled indifferently, what does it matter if they believe it or not, anyway, the goal of killing chickens and monkeys has been achieved, and then he only needs to show his face with Walton and Joy at the press conference held by the Navy, and the purchase of minerals in the future will be much smoother. The Navy can use him for propaganda purposes, and he can use press conferences to build momentum.

"Emma. Sort out the previous battle records and pass them on to me. ”

"Okay Commander, please wait."

About 10 seconds later, Tang Fang took out a number of chips from the mobile video camera on his wrist and threw it to Johnny: "Do you have any reporter friends?" Remember to give this to it after the press conference. ”

"What's that?" Johnny asked casually, seeing that Tang Fang was smiling and silent, he immediately picked up the chip and pressed it into the PDA handed by Mariteth, and clicked the play button casually.

The video is very short, only half a minute, and it is carefully edited by Emma who deliberately selected and made people's blood boil.

Johnny's hands were trembling. At first, when Tang Fang said that, he didn't think that the other party was bragging, like Marites. Judging from the fact that the young boy can get his hands on the manufacturing process of many weapons in the Mengya Empire. The origins of these people are by no means simple.

The "Ogre" pirates should really be finished, but, in Johnny's heart, he thinks that the Morningstar must have another helper to be able to destroy a pirate group in a short time.

However, the scene in front of him completely overturned the idea in his heart, they really killed all the warships of the "Ogre" Pirates except the flagship with just one lightning python-class destroyer.

In the blink of an eye, all 23 battleships were destroyed, but the Morningstar was unscathed. It's just amazing.

Next to her, Mariteth also stared at the starry sky of the universe with war-torn eyes on the PDA screen without blinking. It's true. What he said was all true, this is not a movie!

The Don side did not brag. The Morningstar, bathed in the "Aurora", was like a silver-white unicorn, easily breaking through the "Ogre" Pirates' warship interception net, destroying the withering and decaying, and completely crushing the obsessive thing on its body.

Mariteth is only 22 years old this year, not long after graduating from college, and she is still at the age of fantasizing and longing. The Morning Star in front of me is like a white horse, so elegant and agile, romantic and unrestrained...... It's dazzlingly beautiful, it's fascinating.

Then, she looked at Tang Fang, who was smiling and squinting. Well, if he was taller, if his face was whiter, if he looked more smelly, if he wasn't that stinky, if ......

"Don ...... Brother Tang, this ...... Is all this true? Johnny subconsciously asked.

What is the answer, in fact, he knows it very well in his heart, but this thing is so shocking that he can't believe it. What is that "aurora" outside the Morningstar, he knows better than anyone else, one of the board members of the "Rover Technology Consortium", Eugene? Keith had a ship of the same configuration, which earned him the limelight on some occasions.

Epsilon Dragon's Shield Device, Complete Epsilon Shield Device! The Morningstar is actually equipped with the Epsilon Shield?

And its explosiveness, steering performance, is simply terrifying...... It's just a destroyer? What are you kidding, whether it's defense or flexibility, to blow up all the destroyers of the Star Alliance.

Tang Fang didn't reply, picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, and continued the question just now: "How is it?" In the end, there are no friends in the media. ”

"Yes, yes, yes......" Johnny woke up when he heard this, and said three "yes" words in succession. This is first-hand information, and it is very valuable.

"Brother Tang, do you want me to hand over this video material to the news media?" Seeing Tang Fang nodding, a flash of worry flashed in Johnny's eyes: "Wouldn't this expose the Morningstar's ability?" In case it attracts a stronger enemy......"

"You don't have to worry about that." Tang Fang said indifferently.

Exposure? The Morningstar's Epsilon shield was just the tip of the iceberg, and Johnny could have imagined his means and abilities.

A simple sentence evokes the infinite reverie of businessmen. This kid is called a bad, simply bad with sores on his head and pus on the soles of his feet. When he was at the docks, he deliberately let Hilgai tear the tarpaulin, exposing the remains of the Ipsisaur ruins, and then attracted a large number of pirates to give him a chance to kill chickens and monkeys.

Later, the participation of the Navy in the war was unexpected by him, and what did he do next? He will use the opportunity of the Navy's press conference to build momentum for himself and push the impact of killing chickens and monkeys to the extreme. (To be continued) R655
